The Border Collie people fought long and hard to keep AKC out of the breed--
Then when they lost-- a good percentage of the "fighers" jumped the fence and dual registered with or courted the AKC- thats where the big money is.
There isn't and never will be a "paper" or "breed name" or "lineage" or even a "trial" record ----that guarantees work ability let alone breeding ability .
Have to do your research and find the dogs that are being used HARD for generations--- in simular situations as you are wanting to use a dog.
